I’m not a Linux user. However, I’ve got an install DVD of Linux Mint, ver 19.1 I hope to be installing soon.

I assume Linux has a point and click interface, similar to Windows where I can select a file, navigate to the source directory and deposit the selected file. True?

This tutorial is kinda like using the DOS command COPY in Windows. Still has some uses but most Windows users prefer the point and click method.

Yes, that is true.

Linux typically has multiple ways to accomplish any given task. It can work the way you want to work.

I've been posting command line tutorials here because there have been people who have expressed an interest--and because tutorials on how to copy-and-paste, or drag-and-drop are not really interesting. :)

Linux Mint is very easy to switch to after Windows. It looks very similar and has point and click. Also, the Linux kernel has all of the drivers for most all computers. When you install Windows and you have to use all those CD's install drivers, Not so with Linux. I have one, gal 95 years old, that does not understand anything about computers and she had no problem using Linux Mint.
